Chapter 157: The Lame Princess vs. the Blind Hostage Prince Consort (34)
The sky prison in the Ministry of Justice compound was dimly lit.
The cells with wooden fences are arranged one next to the other. Many of them have been abandoned because they are rarely used. The remaining prisoners were just dealt with not long ago, and now they are deserted.
Lu Cha was pushed here by Minister Luo all the way and didn't see anyone.
Oh~ The hero's prison is pretty broken~
A moment.
The wheelchair stopped.
When he saw the cell in front of him, with a wooden bed covered with a brocade quilt, a burning elegant incense stick on the table, and a plate of fruits, Lu Cha blinked:
“Is the treatment so good?”
"I instructed the servants to clean it up in advance and make it more comfortable." Minister Luo looked satisfied.
The preparations are so detailed, I will have to reward those who worked on it when I get back.
Minister Luo didn't notice that the pile of straw mats in the abandoned cell next door moved slightly.
"Your Highness, this is all I can do. The Emperor might send someone else, so please be careful."
Minister Luo knew a little about the affairs between the Emperor and the eldest princess, but he did not want to get involved and become a victim of the rivalry between the brother and sister.
The prerequisite for repaying a favor is that you must never sacrifice your own interests.
The people who look after the Princess's Mansion have done their best.
Knowing that Minister Luo was trying to protect himself, Lu Cha was not surprised and said politely, "Excuse me, Your Excellency."
Although, she can't stay closed for long~ Hehe~
After Minister Luo locked the door and left, Lu Cha leisurely picked up a pear. As soon as he took a bite, his pupils constricted instantly.
There was a rustling sound, and in the cell opposite, the straw mats fell down, revealing a man in black clothes and wearing a black gauze.
It was as if she had just woken up, and there was still a hint of moisture in the corners of her eyes, which were painted with crabapple blossoms.
Lu Cha was confused: "Why are you here?"
The little villain actually arrived before me?!
Xun Ji slightly widened his sparkling eyes, showing a hint of surprise, and said in a low and aggrieved voice:
"Haitang offended an official in Nanyue Pavilion, and was imprisoned for a reason."
"I never thought I would meet His Highness."
Looking at the little girl holding a pear in her mouth, who looked so cute and adorable, Xun Ji's drooping fingertips tightened unconsciously.
It was as if pinching those fair and tender cheeks.
Lu Cha said meaningfully: "It's really fate."
Just pretend!
"I wonder if Your Highness has had dinner?"
Xun Ji took out the food box hidden behind him and placed the dishes inside on the table in front of the railing one by one, sighing deliberately:
"Haitang has been eating steamed buns for several days in a row. Today, she secretly bribed the jailer with money and bought food from outside."
"If Your Highness doesn't mind, would you be willing to eat with Haitang?"
Looking at the golden roasted chicken and duck, Lu Cha nodded his head with bright eyes.
All meat!
She moved her wheelchair over, but suddenly two wheels got stuck in the cracks in the stone slabs on the ground, and she couldn't move.
Just as Lu Cha was about to exert force, he heard a snap.
"?"
Xun Ji held the wooden railing, which was about as thick as a baby's forearm, in a daze, and quietly dispersed the internal force gathered in his palm:
"It's actually broken?"
He leaned over in surprise, pushed Lu Cha's wheelchair out of the gap, and murmured:
"Could it be that someone did this while trying to escape from prison?"
Lu Cha looked at the broken railing on the ground with an expressionless face.
I suspect he's taking me for a fool, and I have proof!
But the next moment, the tender duck meat was in front of my lips.
Xun Ji, who was squatting beside him, raised his face covered with black gauze, revealing only a pair of peach blossom eyes, which were sparkling with tender ripples.
The corners of her eyes are slightly curved, as if overflowing with spring water, charming and seductive:
"Your Highness, Haitang will serve you dinner."
Lu Cha strangely calmed down, silently opened his mouth to eat the duck meat, and gave a thumbs up in his heart.
The villain's acting skills are getting better and better.
It seems that she hasn't smoked the enchanting version yet?
A hint of excitement appeared in Lucha's eyes.
But at this moment, the sound of messy footsteps suddenly came from a distance.
Xun Ji immediately went back to the cell next door, and did not forget to pick up the two broken bars, holding them symbolically and putting them back in their original place.
It's like a dog that runs out of a cage, plays enough, and then goes back to close the cage door.
Lu Cha couldn't help laughing, and his eyes fell on Xun Ji's neck.
How about making a chain for the little villain?
"Princess, the Emperor has already issued an order authorizing us to torture you. If you do not wish to endure the physical pain, I urge you to confess the truth about your treason."
The two jailers who came over spoke sarcastically with cold eyes, and they were not suspicious of Xun Ji in the cell next door.
It was obviously Yuan Ting's man, disguised as a jailer.
"I didn't do it, so what am I doing?"
Lu Cha smiled, and just as he hooked the long whip in his sleeve with his fingertips, the two jailers suddenly fell to the ground, each stabbed in the chest by a sword.
"?"
The masked man in black leaped forward and shouted coldly, "The master is not here! Look for him somewhere else!"
As luck would have it, Xun Ji's trembling voice rang out:
"Your Highness, there is an assassin."
Lu Cha tilted her head and glanced at Xun Ji who was looking shocked not far away.
If the little villain hadn't been pretending, I would have almost believed it.
Lu Cha, who saw through everything but didn't say anything, said a few perfunctory words of comfort and continued to enjoy the food.
After eating and drinking enough, he confidently reached out to Xun Ji who came in again and said, "Hold me."
Knowing that the little girl was tired from sitting, Xun Ji carried her to the wooden bed and gave her some acupuncture.
Lu Cha fell asleep instantly.
Xun Ji took out the brocade quilt he had prepared in advance and covered her with it.
Finally, he couldn't help himself and gently poked the soft cheek, his eyes dark.
You'll soon get a taste of me.

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study.
When Yuan Ting heard the shadow guard report to the Ministry of Justice, his brows furrowed into a shape of a "川" (river).
In order to facilitate the execution and interrogation of the military order, he specially executed the prisoners in the Sky Prison a few days ago. How could anyone come to rescue them?
Could it be the secret guard trained by Yuan Lucha?
"Your Majesty, several ministers are seeking to see you outside. They would like to ask you to release the eldest princess." The eunuch nodded and came in.
The veins on Yuan Ting's forehead throbbed violently.
It's only been an hour, and these people are here again?! What benefits did Yuanlu Tea give them?!
"I won't see you!" Yuan Ting waved his hand impatiently to drive the eunuch away, and looked at the shadow guard who had just hidden behind the screen:
"No need to send anyone to the Ministry of Justice anymore. Let's go to the Princess's Mansion first and arrest Xun Ji!"
Yuan Lucha liked Xun Ji so much, he didn't believe that she could sit still while he tortured the blind man in front of her!
-
At the hour of Hai, the Heavenly Prison.
Lu Cha sat up sleepily, and suddenly saw that the cracks in the ground that could get the wheelchair stuck were all filled with sand.
Next to the pillow, there were a few packages of cakes and a note:
[Your Highness, Haitang has been released. I hope you can be released from prison soon.]
Lu Cha curled her lips.
It was obviously you who ran away!
At this time, the jailers were all resting. Apart from her, the prison was empty and eerily quiet.
Lu Cha stood up openly, turned around, and clicked - removed the iron lock of the prison door.
The system, which had been obsessed with watching the drama, had just come online when it saw its own host, avoiding the secret guards left by Xun Ji in the Ministry of Justice, sneaking over the wall to escape from the prison. It couldn't help but say:
【Aren’t you afraid of being discovered?】
Lu Cha was incredulous: "Ah, you're still alive!"
“…”
It becomes redundant!
